I posted a question on the forum back in september, asking for advice regarding buying a new battery.

All the replies from our friends in the USA said to get the 21 amp Yuasa.

I have searched everywhere in the UK and cannot find this battery.

Every dealer tells me that the 18 amp will suffice, and that the 21 amp is only available in the USA.

Is this correct if I manage to get one there, it can only be shipped ground, and this will take for ever.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I even tried BIKERS BEST in Holland and they can only supply the 18 amp.

My bike has the 90 amp compufire alternator.

The battery you want is the Yuasa YTX24HL and you can get it at http://www.onlineparts.com/YUASA+MF+%28VRLA%29+BATTERIES+%28YTX24HL%29+%28581303%29.html

They ship by UPS, FED-EX, USPS (Global priority, express or parcel) and there is no mention of ground only shipping for batteries, so it might be worth contacting them.

The Odyssey battery is reckoned to be about the best, if you are going to go to all that bother for a Yuasa, why not just get the Odyssey?
